About this product
The Seagate 2TB Backup Plus Ultra Touch External Hard Drive is a portable 2.5-inch HDD, featuring a 5400 RPM rotation speed and a USB interface. It boasts a 1-year manufacturer warranty and is USB-powered for convenience. This black drive is compatible with both Mac and PC. Unusually, it also lists Blu-ray BD-R as a writable and readable format, along with specific read/write speeds, which typically apply to optical drives rather than HDDs. It aims to provide ample storage in a portable format.
Our take
This Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Touch drive offers a generous 2TB of portable storage, which is great for carrying important files. The 2.5-inch form factor and USB-powered design make it highly convenient for on-the-go use, and I appreciate the 1-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. The 5400 RPM rotation speed is standard for a portable HDD, delivering expected performance for bulk storage. However, the mention of Blu-ray BD-R read/write capabilities, along with 500MB/s read and 8x write speeds, is confusing for an HDD and seems like an error in the product description, as these are typically optical disc drive specifications. Focus on its core HDD function.
